592 ANAEA. By J. ROBER. 
black upper surface and broader greenish markings, being more coherent on the forewings. The @ of pasibula, 
one of the most remarkable discoveries of Mr. A. H. Fasst, differs entirely from the 3 in the marking of the 
upper surface, resembling much rather the 3 of falcata in a conspicuous way. On the under surface it is con- 
siderably lighter than the g, reddish grey with the same markings as the ¢. — The $¢ are very common at 
their habitat, the Q2, however, just as rare. — The egg is, according to Fassu, but slightly larger than the 
egg of Papilio machaon, globular, greenish yellow and glossy. 
A. faleata Hpffr. (120 Dc) from Peru (Chanchamayo) and recently also found in Ecuador, is the sole 
species of Anaea with a blue median band of the gg. Most of the specimens have on the under surface of the 
hindwings a short straight band not like the figured specimen in which there is a distal continuation of this 
band. — The species is very rare. 
A. xenocrates Westw. (120 Dd) from Peru is a very rare species. The marking of the upper surface 
varies from green to bluish-grey and has a metallic lustre. The 2 seems not yet to be known. According to 
STAUDINGER, the spots of the forewings are sometimes confluent and the metallic lustre may also be seen 
at the distal margin of the forewings. 
A. elina Stgr. (120 Dd) from the Rio Dagua (West Colombia) is a very rare species of which but few 
specimens are known so far. — A specimen captured by Mr. A. H. Fassn in Muzo (400 to 800 m) is probably 
to be included in miranda Warr. (120 Dd). This specimen has a very short small tooth—hardly noticeable with 
the naked eye — of the hindwings; the orange-yellow band of the forewings is distally rounded regularly, proxi- 
mally and posteriorly rectilinear and anteriorly conspicuously narrower than posteriorly; the blue spot of the 
hindwings begins already before the posterior radial and reaches almost as far as to the submedian, being also 
broader and, therefore, much larger than in elina. The under surface is in the interior part of the wings much 
more scaled in black, in the median area of the forewings more yellow with some black scale-spots, and at 
the distal margin of the hindwi ings broad band- shaped dark greenish-grey with some black marginal 
spots of which the one at the small marginal tooth stands in a reddish halo. 
A. anna Stgr. (120 Cd) is nearly allied to the preceding species, as is shown by the figures. It comes 
from the Upper Amazon and is known only in few specimens. The orange-yellow’spot of the forewing of elina 
is in anna scarlet and the hindwing does not exhibit a circumscribed lustrous spot, but is covered in the disk” 
with a duller blue reflection. 
A. panariste Hew. (Q = bertha Druce) (120 Dd) from Colombia (Muzo, 400 to 800 m, A. H. Fasst) 
forms, together with the following 3 species, a special group owing to the shape of the wings and the more 
tender structure of the body. — ludmilla Fass/ (103 f) from the Upper Rio Negro (800 m) forms a local form 
distinguished in the male sex by a broad rust-brown cover of the inner margin and of the neighbouring parts 
of the hindwings. The differences of the 92 are to be seen from the figure. — The species is rare, particu- 
larly the 292 belong to the greatest rarities. 
Whether A. jansoni Salv. (110 Ad) from Nicaragua and from the Volcano Chiriqui has to be regarded 
as a proper species or as a subspecies of panariste, we cannot decide. The under surface is in both sexes some- 
what darker than in panariste, but it does not exhibit a different marking. The 3 shows the whole inner-marginal 
area of the hindwings light yellow, like in the ¢ of panariste. 
A. excellens Bates (110 Ad) from Guatemala is an extremely rare species. It resembles the following 
species electra, but it is pale brownish-yellow, on the veins striated in black. The apex of the forewing is 
shghtly prolonged and the tail of the hindwing broad, but scarcely spatulate. 
A. electra Westw. (103 f) is distributed from Mexico to the Volcano of Chiriqui (2000 m). The ¢ is 
somewhat smaller, has more prolonged apices of the forewings and a darker distal margin, the under surface 
being darker than in the 9. Rare. 
A. callidryas Fldr. (116 a) from Guatemala has a dull-green upper surface turning distally yellowish 
on the hindwings. Extremely rare; maybe because it is very difficult to distinguish the animal from among 
the pale yellow Catopsilia flying in great numbers in its patria. 
A. opalina Salv. and Godm. (= clara Sigr.) (116 b) from the Volcano of Chiriqui is a rare species. 
The 2 seems not yet to be known. — Presumably callidryas and opalina form only subspecies of one and the 
same species. 

Note. This seems to us to be the place where the species splendida Rothsch. belongs. for which the author 
has founded a proper genus, Anaeomorpha. In my opinion the marks stated are insufficient for establishing a special genus, 
FRUHSTORFER likewise finds fault with this claim, but he inserts splendida in the Prepona. See further details on p. 553 and 
the figure table 103 e.
